Live Out Loud

I am constantly amazed when I watch my grandchildren....so free to be themselves. To think that once we were like that too, not bothering whether anybody would label us, free and innocent with not a care in this world. I took these photos of Leane a month ago. (The photos were taken in the shade and the sun was very harsh in the background...normally I would not scrap photos that is not my idea of perfect...but these photos HAD to be scrapped) There she was sitting on the table, as if she belongs there...everyone's little princess. The Boss!

This poem of Marianne Williamson came to mind and that also became my journaling. I did a layout for a Pagemap sketch. It was a half page sketch and I adjusted it for this layout to be 12x12 layout:

Our Deepest Fear

By Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.We ask ourselves who am I to be

brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking

so that other people won't feel insecure around you.We are all meant to shine,

Thanks for being so inspirational again. That poem is so real compared to how we live our lives, and one can relate to quite a bit in it. Gorgeous layout once again and its always so special to see a child without any inhibitions. Hugs from Desire

Firstly, thank you for your lovely comment on my blog :)You have been busy since my last visit (way too long). I love your layouts especially "Sent from Above" and Precious. The poem is gorgeous and I would love to use it if I may.Have a great day,Cheers, Irene :)

The photos are lovely...memories are so important...more so than the quality of the images. She looks like such a footlose & fancy free little girl. The colours you have chosen are so optimistic & sunny!

About Me

This is my little place in cyber space. The place where I can voice my opinions and bare my soul...a place where I document the things that happen in my life that I don't ever want to forget. The place where I share my love for my darling husband, children and grandchildren. The place where I am free to share my love for my Lord and Saviour. The place where I showcase my scrapbook projects. The place that will document my life and those whom I love in the thousands of pictures that I take.
